- Summer Storage: Get your storage situation sorted out! Grab blue bins from OSL for $4 each, and check Nick's email from Monday for more information.
- Greening Olin Tip of the Week: When traveling over 45mph, use air conditioning – having your windows down increases air resistance, lowering fuel efficiency. Source: CarTalk

The Final Challenge: Battleship!
The most powerful ships of their time will sail again.
May 18 at 11 am in AC 109 it begins, in direct defiance of the Conference on the Limitation of Armament, the greatest, most feared weapons of their day will be reborn.
Will you build Hitler's Bismarck? Churchill's Hood? Roosevelt's Missouri? Nelson's Victory? Or will Themistocles' Hellenic Navy save the day again?
You design the ship that will carry your flag to victory on the high seas!
Beat to Quarters, sound the klaxons, and go batteries free; the fate of captains, admirals, and nations will be decided at noon on May 19th on Babson's pool. Come watch as the best engineers in the world fight for victory on the high seas!
